The fact is, I have written quite a few songs about murder. Quite a silly amount. Like loads.

So it seemed a good idea to record some performances of them and, as we go, count up the amount of dead people. So far we’ve had 5 murders in 4 songs.

I certainly didn’t plan that by the third video I would accidentally include a picture of ‘fan’ Tony, or mention him again in the fourth video. Look, I don’t bear a grudge and I am certainly not started a feud with Tony. Not at all. not even slightly.

Murder on video! Well not actual murder. Songs about murders. Fictional ones.
